I've been keeping this aside especially for the right moment, and given that Peter Alexander is a pooch lover{his puppy dogs always feature somewhere in his ranges} and avid supporter of the RSPCA,for whom we're raising funds here through until mid January {see the ChipIn gadget over on the top right} ~ well, now seems the right moment! I'd even take an empty one of these. How about you? I wonder if they have any left over...

Please, join me if you can, no matter what the amount, by clicking on the ChipIn button over in the little widget on the top right to help raise $50,000 by mid January to help provide warm beds, love and care for the 16,000 abandoned or neglected animals expected at the RSPCA Victoria's animal shelters over the Christmas period. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who's already donated! Here's more info...

What an adorable music box! You must have been smiling the whole time you were drawing this one. Fun that this doubles as a gift box. Sorry but I snicker every time I hear knickers. It just sounds so odd to my American ears!

Love love love the clever packaging—and your sweet interpretation of same! Maybe Peter Alexander will see this and send you your heart's desire as thanks for the great free advert. Or perhaps your own personal Santa (you know, the one with the really heavy Aussie accent) will read this and take the HINT, and you will find this under (near?) your eensy weeny tree. Hope so, and hope you have a lovely Christmas, dear Shell!
